Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace** - by Rohan Verma Lydia sat in her hospital bed, utterly bewildered, struggling to grasp the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. "Mars, what is wrong with you?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and anger. He was the one who had promised to bring Autumn to care for her, so why was he now directing his fury at her? Wasn't it his reckless behavior that had led to her injuries in the first place? The shards of glass had pierced her skin so deeply, a painful reminder of his lack of control.

She had gone to great lengths to please him, even hurting herself in the process, and yet here he was, treating her like she was the villain. How could he dare to act this way? "I..." Mars took a deep breath, his rage dissipating as the weight of responsibility settled on his shoulders. He realized that the blame rested solely with him. He had failed to navigate the delicate dynamics between the two sisters. Autumn was pregnant, and his reckless actions had put her in jeopardy. A wave of guilt washed over him, especially when he recalled how he had already wronged her regarding the baby.

"I'll find you the best private nurse," he promised, his voice softer now. "For now, just focus on recovering here at the hospital." Lydia's heart sank at his words. It felt like a retreat, another instance of him backing down when she needed him most. This wasn't the first time he had let her down. He always exuded confidence, only to shatter her hopes time and again. Clenching her fists tightly, she couldn't shake the feeling that Autumn was somehow behind this. What kind of spell did that woman cast over him?

He had seemed so over her, so why was he suddenly wrapped around her finger again, changing his mind for her whims? If this continued, her and her mother's plan to secure their future would go up in flames. That was simply unacceptable. Before she could secure her place in the Bennett family, she couldn't allow Mars to dry up like a cash cow. "But I still have to go to the auction... How am I supposed to go like this?" Lydia's voice cracked as tears threatened to spill. A flicker of something crossed Mars's eyes.

Deep down, he knew he didn't have much money left anyway, and Lydia not attending the auction was actually a blessing in disguise for him. But he couldn't voice that thought. Knowing her temper, it would only lead to chaos. "I'll buy whatever you want for you," he offered, trying to placate her. "But..." Lydia's frustration boiled over. The auction was about more than just buying things; it was about presence, about being seen! Could Mars genuinely do that for her? Seething with anger, she reflected on her impulsive decision to confront him at the club.

If she had only held back, she wouldn't have lost her temper, wouldn't have ended up in this hospital bed, and wouldn't have nearly ruined her face. When it came down to it, all of this was Autumn's fault. If it weren't for that Facebook post, she wouldn't have spiraled into madness. "Those Facebook posts my sister made... you don't think she posted them specifically for me to see, do you?" As she pondered the recent events, a nagging suspicion began to take root in Lydia's mind. "Can you see her Facebook feed?" she asked, her voice laced with intrigue. Mars's brow furrowed.

In hindsight, her last two outbursts did seem rather uncharacteristic, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor. He opened WhatsApp, curiosity piqued. Autumn's Facebook profile was public, and the content appeared ordinary, even mundane. Someone had jokingly commented, asking if they could apply to be the chief secretary at Cloudbreak Corporation. As he scrolled through her recent posts, he noted that the tone was consistent with her past: emotionally stable and concise. It was a stark contrast to Lydia's feed, which was filled with selfies and posts boasting about how wonderful he was to her.

Previously, he had considered it flattering, but now, looking at it, he felt a twinge of shame. No wonder Autumn felt jealousy; Lydia's posts were far too provocative. "There's nothing wrong with her posts. But you, on the other hand-you need to stop making these suggestive posts. Either delete the old ones or set them to private," Mars advised, his tone firm. "Why?" Lydia was taken aback, her heart sinking. Mars struggled to find the right words.

"You don't actually think it's glorious to be the other woman, do you?" "Lydia, promise me, just keep a low profile until your sister safely delivers our baby, okay?" Lydia's grip on her phone tightened, anger surging within her. "What's that supposed to mean? So now you think I'm the one causing trouble?" She could hardly believe how cold and heartless Mars had become. He had shared a bed with her, and now, as she lay confined to a hospital bed, he suddenly felt remorseful about cheating on Autumn? Why had he even pursued her in the first place? What did he take her for?

"That's not what I meant, Lydia... Look, just focus on resting at the hospital, can you do that? I promise I'll make it up to you later." Lydia scoffed, her trust shattered. The man had a habit of going back on his word. At that moment, she felt utterly vulnerable. "Then give me back the money from last time." Mars froze, confusion etched on his face. "What money?" "The money you gave me before. Since I'm not going to the auction, you should give it to me to hold onto." Mars felt as if Lydia wasn't hearing him. "That money's already been invested. It's gone!

Can you please just stop making a scene? Stay in the hospital and get better." With that, he hung up, leaving Lydia in disbelief. Fuming, she attempted to call him back, but he ignored her. She bombarded him with texts, but not a single reply came. "Aaaargh!" Frustration boiled over as Lydia hurled her phone across the room, her eyes blazing with fury. "Autumn, I swear I'll make you pay!" Even with a new target in her sights, Mars's wavering loyalty cut deep into her pride. He was meant to be her devoted companion, always at her beck and call.

Why did it suddenly feel as though their roles had reversed? Even if she no longer wanted him, she would rather destroy him than let Autumn have him. A dangerous glint sparkled in Lydia's eyes as she reclined on the hospital bed, her mind already concocting her next move. Meanwhile, Autumn had assumed Owen would pick her up from Cloudbreak Corporation. She was taken aback to see his familiar car parked nearby as she exited the police station. In a daze, she approached the vehicle and opened the door, greeted by Owen's concerned gaze.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry. Autumn's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here? I thought you were headed to the family estate." Owen explained that upon hearing of her troubles, he had turned back without hesitation. The car was enveloped in a serene silence, the faint scent of aromatherapy wafting through the air, soothing her frayed nerves. Autumn felt her cheeks flush, her lips parting as she struggled to find the right words. What could she possibly say?

For someone from a prestigious family like Owen's, being called back to the estate must have signified something significant. And yet, after learning that Mars had taken her, he had chosen her without a moment's hesitation. Did this mean she held some importance in his life? But... why? Was it solely because she was carrying his child? Conclusion As Lydia lay in her hospital bed, the chaotic storm of her emotions began to settle into a stark realization: the battle for Mars's affection was not just a fight against her sister, but also a confrontation with her own insecurities.

The anger that had once fueled her resolve now felt hollow, replaced by a deep-seated fear of losing not only Mars but also her sense of self-worth. The echoes of their heated exchange lingered in her mind, a painful reminder of the power dynamics shifting between them. In her quest for validation and security, she had lost sight of the love that had initially drawn them together, leaving her feeling more isolated than ever.

As she contemplated her next move, the dangerous glint in her eyes reflected not just her determination but also the desperation of a woman cornered, ready to lash out at any perceived threat. Meanwhile, Autumn's unexpected encounter with Owen marked a turning point in her own emotional journey. His genuine concern for her well-being illuminated a path toward healing, one that she had not anticipated. In the quiet comfort of his presence, she began to understand that her worth was not solely tied to the tumultuous relationship with Mars.

Meanwhile, Autumn's unexpected reunion with Owen will deepen the emotional complexity of the narrative. As they navigate their feelings amidst the chaos, readers will witness a tender yet tumultuous exploration of loyalty, love, and the burden of familial expectations. What does Owen truly want from Autumn now that he has chosen to be by her side? Can she trust him, or will his presence only complicate her already fragile situation?
